Fire. Fire can hide everything, including incriminating evidence.

My better half took the time to actually wind & twist all the wires in her office into one huge thick wire & then I cable tied it in 3 places. Looks better but not perfect.
 
CSI is a great show and a great way to hide evidence is to burn the scene, while they are in there investigating. Stupid criminals.

Anyways, try some conduit. That'll help hide them in your house. Some inventive tricks to hide wires in your case (duct tape).

I dont like the sound of that. Say if you need to remove the mouse from the computer, you have to untwist all those cables. It sounds like a good idea, until you need to remove a part, and then you have a hassle ahead of you.

What is the frame of your glass desk made of? If it's pipe, you could try and get some similar pipe to route the wires through. or PVC pipe, painted to match, & run along the back edge of the desk with well placed openings for the wires where they come out to the individual components. This way, if you need to pull the mouse or keyboard wire out for some reason, as long as you got pipe that's slightly oversized, you should be able to just pull it right out. (HINT: tie a piece of string to one end before you pull it out so you can retie the string & pull it back through the pipe later)
